She submitted her master’s thesis!
You should be outraged. You should be enraged and if you are not, if the senseless killing of the black community at the hands of our police force does not anger you please reevaluate your humanity.
To be unmoved by the current issues of our society is a privilege. To prioritize looting and damage to property over lost black lives and police brutality is to lack humanity.
Please evaluate and educate yourself, this is a major issue and we need serious reform and revolution in this country.
You can’t love the Romantics and academia and remain ignorant and complacent.

dark academia in brown
Minneapolis, MN. May 28th 2020
it’s just fucking SICK how white men can show up to public buildings with guns and police just stand and stare ... white women will scream at minorities and protest for their rights to get haircuts and police won’t do anything ... but say that black people should be treated like people and fucking tear gas and rubber bullets come out. when people say black lives matter, it’s a reminder because police keep acting like black lives are meaningless. every fucking day.
for people who are unaware of why the riots in minneapolis started happening, here’s the facts:
it wasn’t george floyd’s protesters who started reacting violently; it was the cops.
the protest was peaceful until the cops showed up in riot gear, and started using water cannons, followed up by tear gas and rubber bullets. i got videos from friends who were there, of people screaming and running away from the cops shooting the water cannons, rubber bullets and throwing tear gas at them. they were even shooting at the protesters dragging people away to get medical attention.
speaking of medical attention, dispatch refused to provide any medical attention to the protesters. people literally had to drive their bleeding friends to the hospital because they refused to send ambulances.
cops are using non-lethal weapons in a lethal way. they shot rubber bullets into people’s heads and injured them. there’s dozens of photos of protesters with bleeding head wounds from the rubber bullets.
multiple people used police scanners and heard that there were undercover cops pretending to be violent protesters who were throwing rocks and whatnot at the police, with dozens of eyewitness accounts confirming that information.
the person who instigated all the chaos last night (it was a fire at an autozone) with the looting and burning buildings is highly suspected to be an undercover cop pretending to be a protester, because the video of him keeps getting taken down. protesters tried to stop him but couldn’t because he had a hammer and they were scared for their safety.
the cops jammed cell phone towers and cut live streams to interrupt broadcasts and to prevent people from seeing what was really going on and who actually started the violence.
the cops lied about protesters being armed and about throwing rocks and are literally trying to continue the violence happening and yet no one is holding them accountable for that.
and during all this, the cop that murdered george floyd still hasn’t been arrested. he has had more than ten complaints filed against him and was involved in three other civilian shootings in the past. and yet he’s still out free along with his three other buddies involved, probably sitting on his couch while all this chaos is happening.
so don’t get it twisted. the cops just want to change the narrative to make it look like they’re the wounded and righteous party, when they’re the ones who started reacting violently in the first place and are still acting violently. so don’t you ever forget who started this tragedy and murdered someone, and who are continuing to react to the situation with violence.

Yesterday I started having an anxiety attack at the thought of my Black, 16 year old little brother riding his bike in our white suburban neighborhood, so these panels just seemed really timely to share.
Unnecessary force and violence against black people isn't new. The fact that it's wrong isn't news either.
Heroes save lives. Not end them.
“Why are you guys being so dramatic?”
We’re being “dramatic” for Breonna Taylor.
For Ahmaud Arbery.
For George Floyd.
For Tony McDade.
For the people who lost their siblings.
For the people who lost their children.
For the people who lost their parents.
For the people who lost their lives.
We’re being “dramatic” because people died. Because people suffered.
*people choose to kneel during the national anthem to peacefully protest police brutality*
Some People™️: tHat’S uNaCCePtaBLe
*people march in the streets and harass passersby to protest safer-at-home orders*
Some People™️: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ that’s their constitutional right
You don’t care about rights; you care about “your side” winning.
We have to make sure George Floyd doesn’t die in vain by sending in 500 troops to go after american people and likely take more lives and make things so much worse for everyone involved. Makes sense.
White America: “We need to keep our (machine) guns so we can enforce our own rights in the event our government turns on us.”
White America, when people are actually trying to protect their rights: ”Violence is not the answer”
I’m not black, but I see you
I’m not black, but I hear you
I’m not black, but I mourn with you
George Floyd.
Killed by Minneapolis Police Department recently. Suffocated and murdered. A grocery stores called the police when they thought he was writing a bad check. This man had his knee on george’s neck for 10 minutes. Cutting off his airway. Took his life and treated him as nothing while putting his on a stretcher. They watched him DIE.
THIS IS AMERICA.

Some more Muslim academia for Eid
Eid Mubarak
Happy Eid Fitr to all my dear muslim followers🌙
I know that this year's ramadan has been very challenging as mosques were closed and in a month of unity, meeting with friends and family just wasn't possible. I am very sorry you will not be able to celebrate Eid as you usually do because everyone is working hard to maintain social distancing. I heard that many muslims were kindly helping and donating more generously during that holy month, to that, as a citizen of the world going against a global pandemic, I am very thankful. I hope you will keep staying safe and want to tell you that better days will come.

do not want to articulate anything!! want only to walk barefoot in a sunlit courtyard with an overripe nectarine in one hand and a deeply battered paperback in the other !
I got my heart broken and I survived, I failed 3 courses in university and graduated, I got rejected in the very first job I applied for and got promoted yesterday, I went through hard times with my family but then two years later, we laughed our hearts out over lunch, The closest friends disappointed me several times but I made new friends and loved them with all my heart. I did it once, I can do it again.
love is so embarrassing . also the only thing that matters
